Because graphite in inherently weak in tension and strong in compression, the cylindrical heat exchanger, with it's axial spring compression principle, accomodates higher design pressures.

Important Features Are:

• Solid drilled construction in multiples of 14" long sections; or single monolithic cores without cemented joints, up to 70" in length.
• Excellent corrosion resistance to a wide variety of chemicals.
• ASME code construction (lethal designation available).
• Standard maximum allowable working pressures - 100 PSIG for both process and service sides. Higher allowable working pressures may be available.
• No exposed graphite.
• Alternating rows of process and service holes for maximum heat transfer.
• Design temperature of 360 degrees F. Can be exceeded for certain applications with water cooled heads.
• All exchangers are hydrostatically tested at 1-1/2 tiems the MAWP on process and service sides prior to shipment.
• All graphite components are pneumatically tested after resin impregnation for assurance of an impervious graphite structure.
• The highest standards of quality control are maintained throughout the manufacturing process.
• Compressed TFE gaskets between sections.
• Horizontal or verticle supports.
• Nozzle sizes are provided to suit application.
• Installation, maintenance and operating instructions are available.
